Ain't Nothing Gonna Break My Stride

I've made a decision that I want my attitude towards (certain) people to be snark free.

My intentions were so good and I did so well. On Monday. Tuesday, well, not so much. It's not my fault though. These particular people beg to be judged with their ridickalus behaviours. Or they'll open their mouth to talk and then, bam! ... they say something so idiotic and self-centred that my eyes can't help but to check out the tops of my eyelids for a split second.

I think I need to tweak my initial decision a little. Instead of looking for a snark-free zone, I will work on not carrying any ill-feelings towards a person into the following day.

Please don't look at me like I'm some kind of martyr. My reasons are purely selfish. In all honesty, it takes so much more energy on my part when someone annoys me. Because when I'm annoyed by stupid people, this is what happens:

1) I think about it non-stop.
2) I complain about it non-stop.
3) I avoid that person so that I don't catch their stupidness.
4) I put on my bitch face.

That takes up too much of my precious time. And I shouldn't let stupid people bring me down.

When I'm not annoyed by stupid people, even though they are still being stupid, this is what happens:

1) I smile.
2) I move on.

I want to smile more. I don't want to be bogged down by other people's behaviours. It shouldn't affect me as much as I've let it in the past. I choose to be oblivious to their "me" attitudes.

Now my only other strategy is to steer any conversations away from the senseless gossip that I've thrived on in the past. And trust me that is easier said than done.

Let's see how I do today.

Nobody gonna slow me down ... I got to keep on moving.
